Research Support

Research Support at Michigan Ross helps connect faculty, staff, and students with the resources needed to conduct their studies. We can help you with finding survey resources, sources of funding, study participants, and more.

Behavioral Lab

Research takes action at the Michigan Ross Behavioral Lab, where students, staff, and faculty conduct a wide range of experiments. The lab accommodates a variety of innovative human behavior experiments in areas such as marketing and decision science, strategy, teamwork, and leadership. For detailed information, visit the Behavioral Lab.

Surveys and Experiments

Ross maintains a site license with the online survey vendor Qualtrics. Researchers can use this tool to prepare surveys that can be administered both inside and outside the school’s Behavioral Lab. Qualtrics and Survey Design Consultations are available to Ross Faculty, Staff, and Students.

Recruitment

Researchers at Ross can recruit both unpaid and paid research participants. Faculty and PhD students in the areas of Marketing and Management & Organizations have access to student participants in unpaid subject pools during Fall and Winter terms. A paid subject pool including University students, staff, and community members is available year-round to all Ross researchers. Learn more at the Behavioral Lab page. We also provide consultations for identifying external online participants from paid panels.

Subject Incentives
